Fairness Meter

Newsweek champions unbiased journalism that rejects extremes and keeps the vital middle strong.

Our Fairness Meter allows readers to hold us publicly accountable by rating an article's fairness in one of three ways—Leans Left, Fair, and Leans Right. We limit votes to one per reader. Once a vote is cast, readers can see how others have voted.

Newsweek acts on this feedback to keep our journalism factual and fair.

Leans Left

The article presents a left-leaning perspective on the issue. It omits opposing views or substantive relevant facts.

Fair

The article presents a non-partisan perspective on the issue. It includes substantive relevant facts and gives opposing views.

Leans Right

The article presents a right-leaning perspective on the issue. It omits opposing views or substantive relevant facts.
